Origenes Don Pancho Reserva 8-Year

8 year is minimum for age of rum in this blend. Smooth, sweet, and complex.

Great rum. But it tastes a bit to much alcohol for my mouth.. Nice finish though.

A decent nose of medium heavy wood, caramel and dried fruits like dates and figs. The alcohol is also apparent, without becoming too much. On the medium bodied palette, I get the same notes my nose picked up. You feel that the rum "only" aged for 8 years, but in this case it actually works well, as the slightly rough edges ratains a freshness, and keeps the expirience from beeing bland. Good value, I enjoy it very much. (boderline 8)

God rum, with lots of dry fruit, honey and good taste.

A interesting taste of Don Pancho. It's not the same of the 18yo but it's all right.

Smooth going down. Very nice oaky aftertaste. Would like to try some of their others.

I've done a fair amount of experimenting and so far, this is my favorite rum. Not because it's particularly spectacular when compared to truly spectacular rums, but because it's particularly spectacular for the price. You have to spend $10-15 more on a bottle, to have something noticeably superior. Ratings seem to drop off sharply below this price point, so here's your Goldilocks rum. Not as delicate as a 12 or an 18, but plenty smooth enough. Only slightly warmer when mixed in my punch, but at a significant savings. Still no hangovers, headaches, sleep disturbances or other negative effects. Thank you Señor Pancho.

This rum is very young, but it's got all a good rum has got to have. In the nose there ist oak and butter. The oak is on the tongue, too, with some alcool. A little bit too much of alcool, to be honest. The rum shows its youth therin, I suppose. There is dried apricot, too, in it, I think. In the aftertaste, too much of alcool again. Oak. Not an unpleasant sipping rum, though.

A smooth and pleasant taste, with a slight kick at the end. You will not be disappointed with this purchase. The perfect weight and right amount of kick makes this rum very fun to drink. I highly recommend this to anyone searching for that perfect rum to share.

8Y rum but very comple, tasty and balanced. Recommended.
